i really only had one reading with mitt romney. i work with a team to develop the plan and we went in. and in the meeting basically mitt romney was defending against his old club visors. he said he don't want to do this. this is a terrible idea. he said this is cool. the chart is a management consultant. and they had this unique phishing because are getting money for the federal government we can put together a system to a system to endorse a coverage without raising taxes and that's a republican he thought that was kind of neat good we can have a system with urso responsibility for the mandate. we'll cover everybody and not raise taxes. he was excited by the puzzle. and look, i'm not saying this because i'm a democrat. he honestly is the hero of health care reform. literally, truly we do not get the affordable track without mitt romney. [applause] i realize that as a self-serving statement, but it's really, really true. i am as disappointed as anyone that is locked away from it the way he has. >> thank you. >> thank you very much

[laughter and applause] >> basically mitt romney had a choice. he had a choice of three things he could have done. he could have done what newt gingrich did and this about it and said i made a mistake. it is in the paths. he could have said was the right thing to do and a great idea. he tried the middle ground of saying the massachusetts, not for everyone else. he sort of told a couple of disingenuous things. that is why it is a good idea. raise taxes because the fed pays for bail. it is cheaper to argue that. then he said it is not right for the rest of the country. i may not work for the rest of the country. it does work for the rest of the country. >> last question stage right. >> we estimate there are probably a thousand people who are homeless, some for reasons of their own, refused to apply for medicaid. what will happen to these people who refuse to get access to health insurance? >> i am a big fan of the affordable care act and i am glad for olive did but it doesn't do everything. remaining problem remains. low income people on the margin

and from ken, who would romney prefer, a -- who would china prefer, a romney president or a second term obama? >> i'll say a brief word on pakistan, obviously very challenging. i think our afghanistan policy could fail probably because of pakistan's role. that because the politics in many kabul and the future of karzai are the key threat toss the mission, i think. in terms of the u.s./pakistan partnership, i give this administration reasonably decent grades for keeping on trying when nothing was working. and on afghanistan i think their messaging and their teamwork was relatively mediocre. by contrast, towards pakistan i think the strategic dialogue and a lot of the outreach was pretty good. mistakes we made on messaging in afghanistan affected pakistan policy, i believe, so i don't want to completely establish a distinction between the two. but i think this administration's been extremely mature and disciplined and realist on pakistan. we don't have any choice but to keep working the relationship. there have been things that have gone up and down along the way. bruce riedel has some go

romney will not say if that is a good idea for massachusetts. we have the evidence and ended not good. so i made a mistake. but he won't do that, so that is what makes it very, very frightening. so i'm going to buy an old ship, not the one that crashed off the italian coast. i will set up my liberty ship and they can all get our health on the liberty ship. >> i would like to also underscore what the seven what mr. shadegg said white is so critical congress gets it right this summer. they will cite an important element for the future of the health care system should go at the health care law can get repealed. and i will say also should be a cohesive plan and not just enough of that soup fan of everyone's idea that makes no sense. i think we need to be on to explain to the american people as has been done in this book and heritages plan on saving the american dream anafranil says their own ideas on what to do. but they all sit together in an important way and that is another important feature moving ahead as the debate continues. do we have any mo

the exchange working and we had by partisan political support around the bill including governor mitt romney, republicans signed the bill. you have a real consensus around it. everyone was on board to make it work. now try to do this in states like texas, arkansas, alabama, georgia. states that don't have much in insurance regulation and all, something they don't do much. and have much capacity for but also where there's real political resistance to doing it. that is going to be more of a bureaucratic concern than bureaucratic bloat to the federal level. >> host: this viewer is asking if insurance companies will offer multi family discount. mandate to have insurance, will this create a new market? >> guest: the premise is you get more people into the pool. that is the idea. right now problem is people who try to buy insurance on their own have a hard time because insurers can just reject that if you have a preexisting condition or charge a ton and the rates are very high because the pool is not big enough. you only have people in the pool who think they need insurance. if this doesn't really

do you see any change happening let's save a mitt romney becomes the next president of the united states and how we deal with iran? >> change for the worse is much more probable than likely then change for the better. but i would agree with you that obviously there is bureaucratic inertia and there is institutions that are going to take a tremendous amount of willpower to be able to change. i think perhaps one of the mistakes, shortcomings, of this massive movement behind obama that by now probably is quite disappointing and they were hoping for other things, is that a lot of organizations, a lot of the grassroots kind of took a vacation once obama was in office. there was a belief perhaps that you know, he is there and he is going to take care of it and they won't have access as the opponents of obama sought, as the bureaucrats who prefer the status quo and obama fails to reactivate the draft. without that you're not going to see any change. i don't believe it's impossible and on the contrary it is quite possible. we have seen very interesting shifts in u.s. policy in the past, but they

there is that wonderful moment in the presidential republican debate where mitt romney was trying to defend his health care mandate say what we did in massachusetts was okay, but the federal version doesn't. what's the difference said michele bachmann. well, massachusetts is a state. the states to do with it want. bachmann said i think that the states nor congress should be able to do this, and she invoked this basic notion of autonomy which is spelled out in one of the briefs in the health care case which cites none other than roe v. wade. justice kennedy's opinion in the sweet mystery case where they say the right to define your own consumption of the meaning of life should prevent the government from telling you to buy health care. that is the completely intellectually coherent position my friends at the cato institute, a libertarian think tank in washington, are fiercely pro-choice, pro gay marriage and anti health care mandate. they want to restrict the government from making as by health care or telling us we can mario will begin do with the bodies. justice kennedy is the only
